Here's where you can join locals today for National Day of Prayer

Today is the 62nd annual National Day of Prayer - a day of observance on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked "to turn to God in prayer and meditation".

Each year since its inception, the president has signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. The modern law formalizing its annual observance was enacted in 1952, according to nationaldayofprayer.org.
